globbing on remote network paths

[jimbobfurley]

Hi all,

I am attempting to glob as such :

glob("\\sottbuild1f\\blacksea\\daily\\oqp\\*inst.tar.gz");

This is a remote network location, within my corporate LAN. This returns back nothing (empty array).
Is there a way I can get around this ?


Thanks in advance,
Travis

Yes, just open the directory instead and pull the entire contents. I do not know the specific reasons why a glob wouldn't work on a networked computer, but I suspect it may simply not be allowed on your setup.
